Here's a Music Player with the two tracks we used for practicing for the Intelligent Listening Checklist paper. Listen to the music and follow along with the sheet music you received in class. Here's an analysis of the Clapton record.
Note: because the above two records were discussed in class, you can not use either of them for your checklist paper.
